At the end of Batman Eternal #1, Jim Gordon appears to both shoot an unarmed man and cause a massive train accident as the end result of shooting an unarmed man. So things aren’t aren’t going well… and if our exclusive reveal of the cover to Batman Eternal #13 is any evidence, they’re about to get a lot worse.

Batman Eternal is, of course, DC’s wallet-busting new weekly series starring Batman and involving the entire Batbook team as they deliver stories about the various lives and careers surrounding Batman… and as Gotham comes closer and closer to burning to the ground.

Yep, Jim Gordon goes to jail. And how, precisely, is that working out for him? DC’s solicit copy for the book has a clue:

Featuring stories from Pete Milligan, Fabio Moon, Rian Hughes, Annie Mok, Rachel Deering and more, and with art from Moon, Hughes, Nathan Fox, Matteo Scalero, Carla Berrocal and others, it promises to be a fairly exciting collection of edgier comics. Keep an eye out for this cover July 30th:
